several questions (possible spoilers)

Post by aquaman »

hi, i am new to forums, kotor etc. first question, i am on tatooine, I am about ready to do the krayt dragon thing. i have been playing for 12hr. so far, this is my 3rd planet (taris, dant, tat) how much longer game experience will I have? By that i mean how many more hours of gameplay can i expect? i am a dark sider, so i dont do very many side quests. 2nd question, what is a good way to make lots of money? I always travel to yavin to sell stuff, but even then i barely have 2k which i always spend on med pacs. I heard that you had to kill some trandoshans to get good deals there, but i have yet to see them. 3rd and last question, what order should i go planet wise? thanks for your help

money is easy to come by if you do side quests, especially for dark siders. You can threaten/intimidate/persuade etc. people into increasing rewards, you can find expensive and powerful artifacts on quests and decide to keep them for yourselves, once you get a litle more powerful you start to find mroe powerful weapons. as to length a fast gamer can get it done in 20 ie heard, personally i normally take 36-43 hrs. i like side quests.

also look around the forum, and at the walkthrus on the site, there are plenty of differnt answers to all your questions.

Welcome to GameBanshee, aquaman. Hope you enjoy your time spent here. :)
hi, i am new to forums, kotor etc. first question, i am on tatooine, I am about ready to do the krayt dragon thing. i have been playing for 12hr. so far, this is my 3rd planet (taris, dant, tat) how much longer game experience will I have? By that i mean how many more hours of gameplay can i expect? i am a dark sider, so i dont do very many side quests.
Given that you are a darksider and have decided not to complete as many quests, your time playing the game will be very different from playing a lightsider, and will also be significantly shorter. A lot of sidequests are fairly helpful, but usually, lightsiders only take them up.

Taking on the Krayyt Dragon is fairly close to the end of the main quest on that particular planet. This is your... first choice world one? You still have three long planets to go, and if you have the PC version, you can play around with some minor stuff on a small station with one occupant on Yavin.

I think you could easily make it above 20 hours, and still easily above 25 hours, perhaps. All the way to thirty hours is possible, and perhaps all the way up to 35, depending on what order you do the planets in and the like. So you can expect still at least double the amount of time playing the game. Perhaps triple.
2nd question, what is a good way to make lots of money? I always travel to yavin to sell stuff, but even then i barely have 2k which i always spend on med pacs. I heard that you had to kill some trandoshans to get good deals there, but i have yet to see them.
I never have money problems. I sell all my goods that I don't need, from stims to armour, whenever I think that it would be unwise for me to continue carrying them. I also sell some grandes, and only keep one or two mines, so I can usually unload quite a bit at selling sprees.

Being a darksider, I would have thought you would get money a lot easier than I usually do. Have you been going through all the Plasteel cylinders and footlockers possible? All of them can have good items.

Another way you sometimes get credits is on quests, but I never take them if I am a lightsider. Haggling and having high persuasion can get you credits, and you can most likely also use force persuausion in dialouge options if you like, along with threats and intimidation.

Other competitions can get you EXP and money as well. For example, the arena on taris, and swoop racing on many planets, can easily supplement your income.

I would keep all your pads though. They can be useful. (datapads)

Anyways, the Trandoshans are still some way ahead in the game. Just go back and visit after each starmap and quetion the occupant of the Yavin space station.
3rd and last question, what order should i go planet wise? thanks for your help
Any order you want, it doesn't really matter. I always start off on Manaan. I recommend that you end on Korriban, though. :)

I may have missed some, so I'll go and get you some links to some other threads that might help, if you want.

It started right after you landed on the planet, when you saw the sith and republic soldiers yelling at each other. You will not find anything really specific here, except for some quests that you, as a dark sider, may be interested in.

I think you should start off in Ahto west, in the area of the cantina. Some very useful quests that lead you toward finding the star map. I found the one about mercenaries most inetersting... and it does contribute towards your end goal. You might also want to talk to Shaleas, if I remember correctly.

The court is also here (be good at weaseling if ever in front of them).

If you need help, then come back and post, as I do not know to what level you have gotten to, and do not wish to spoil the game for you. :)

I take it you have the Xbox version? You do not have access to the Yavin Space Station. Last I heard it is PC exclusive, unless someone here can correct me. :)

Well, you really don't need your other party members, so no worries.

Just go where the guy died, take a left and walk outside. There shouldn't be a problem. If there are any Firaxxa, then you should have the device that kills them, and if you do not have that device, then there should be no Firaxxa. :)

I'll go and run a quick search for your cheat. :)

There you go, it is mentioned here. Apparently there was also a glitch that allowed you to do the same. Do you know how to activate cheats?
